Understanding Sewage Backup

Sewage backup can happen for several reasons:

Flushing sanitary items, disposable wipes, or other foreign objects can block pipes.
Heavy rain can overwhelm the sewer system.
Backwater valves can fail, sending wastewater into sanitary systems.
Broken or cracked sewer lines from construction or tree roots can cause water to back up.

More importantly, sewage water often contains contaminants and dangerous hazards that can risk your family's health.

Bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella can cause dysentery or gastrointestinal issues.
Viruses like Hepatitis and rotavirus are sometimes present in waste.
Parasites like Giardia lamblia and Trichuris can be present in sewage and make your family ill.

The Zen Dry Response

Before we arrive, you want to make sure everyone is kept away from the flooded area, and that water is shut off to prevent further damage.

Step 1

Emergency Response

Upon receiving your call, our expert teams swiftly arrive on-site within two hours to assess the sewage backup. It's crucial to understand that sewage is classified into three categories: CAT1, CAT2, and CAT3. Sewage is a CAT3 meaning "Black Water", so it can contain disease-causing organisms and toxins. Rest assured, our professionals are equipped to handle each category efficiently and effectively.

Step 2

Safety Measures

We’ll evaluate if your electrical systems are at risk. Our team then utilizes personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect workers from potential health hazards during clean-up, especially if the sewage backup is black water.

Step 3

Containment and Extraction

It’s essential to contain the area to minimize the spread of contaminants to other parts of the home. We then begin removing the water and any solid waste from the site, as well as affected materials like flooring and drywall.

Step 4

Cleaning and Disinfection

Floors, walls, and surfaces are thoroughly scrubbed with specialized cleaning agents and disinfected using EPA-approved products that kill viruses, bacteria and pathogens.

Step 5

Deodorization

Sewage backups are not easy on the nose! It's important to emphasize that handling sewage is one of the most dangerous challenges we face in our industry. Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can pose serious health risks to both humans and animals. After cleaning and disinfecting the area, our team employs professional-grade air filters and deodorizers. These specialized tools are essential to not only eliminate the lingering unpleasant odors but also to neutralize hazardous gases, ensuring a safe and sanitized environment for everyone involved.

Step 6
